Go with the Flo: This is a story that I've been thinking about for a long time. It's a Double D x Buttercup story because I love the crossover couple so enjoy!
~Descendants of Love and Hate~ Chapter One: Under Pressure
"Run, Romeo. Run!" The young black haired maiden said as she sneaked past the guards.
"I can't just leave you!" He yelled looking back at her.
"I'll be fine. This is my home, remember?" She ran towards him as her skirt rustled in the wind. Once she came up to him, she looked up. "I'll be fine." She kissed him for reassurance.
He stared at her with sadness in his eyes; this surely can't be the end. She smiled, this sure wasn't.
"Now, go!" She pushed him forward to give him a head start.
"But, Juliet..." The boy tried to reason with the girl.
"GO!" Her eyes flashed with anger and annoyance. The boy understood that he had to leave. Now.
When he was far enough from plain site in the dark of the night, the guards finally caught up to her. "Are you okay, Ms. Juliet?" The same guard touched her shoulder.
"I'm fine." She said coldly as she smacked away his hand. "It wasn't a big deal that he entered our home." Before the guards could talk to her some more, she went back inside her house to cry herself to sleep.
"Miss..." The girl rolled in her bed trying to ignore the voice that was trying to talk to her. "Miss." The feminine voice pounded at her ear drum. Why can she never have a decent time sleeping? "MISS!" The voice yelled again, however, Buttercup still kept her eyes closed.
"What?" The tough powerpuff hissed.
"Miss Buttercup, may you wake up? Your father has been wanting you for over an hour now." The servant started to dust her room, despite the fact it was messy.
"So?" The young teen said as she pulled her sheet over her head. To get the girl to move, the servant opened her curtains. Buttercup felt the light penetrating her sheet and it burned.
"Can you wake up?" The servant started to shake her, she knew Buttercup was awake. Moving slightly, Buttercup yawned as she removed her bed sheet. As she lazily opened her eyes, she turned to her left to look at her clock.
"Why would he want me so early?" Buttercup asked her.
"It's three in the Afternoon, Buttercup." The servant said as she started to clean her room. "What's so early about that?" The same servant raised a brow at her.
The green powerpuff girl smiled at her. "And that's why you're my favorite." She jumped out of bed and she hugged the servant with delight. The servant, on the other hand, just sighed. Buttercup soon looked outside and noticed how it was beautiful outside.
She could do a lot of things, too bad, most of the things she wanted to do weren't considered "appropriate" for a woman of her standards. Well, when you're father is an extremely rich and famous scientist, there were things you could and could not do.
Buttercup couldn't do dangerous sports, or any sport for that manner; she swore that she was always like a bird in a cage just dying to roam free. But she feared, as much as she would hate to admit it, felt that she would never have the chance.
After thinking about how she ended up in this situation, she soon felt her tummy growl, she definitely needed breakfast. "Miss Keen, what's for breakfast?"
"Well, nothing that I know of since all the lunch that was made today was eaten." The older woman dove inside of her pocket and pulled out some keys. She soon threw the keys to Buttercup.
"But knock yourself out." She smiled while Buttercup gladly hugged her. With a quick goodbye, Buttercup left the room and raced to the kitchen.
What is there to eat? The strong girl wondered as she opened the lock and scanned the fridge. She knew she wasn't allowed near the fridge after throwing it across the room to some rude man, but she was hungry, and refrigerators provide food which could satisfy her hunger. In other words, she didn't care.
She soon found a sandwich and took it from the fridge. It was a ham lettuce cheese tomato sandwich with mayo and boy, was it good. She smiled as the taste danced on her tongue. She really needed the snack. It seemed to calm her down of the weird dreams she's been dreaming of lately, but she knew the feeling was going to come back.
For some time now, Buttercup has been having some strange dreams. Well… strange for her at least. Her dreams would be about their couple and their struggle for their love. It was kind of cute the first few times, but soon got annoying afterwards. After all, she didn't want a boyfriend, for she felt that she didn't need or want one.
After finish the sandwich, she wiped her hands and made it to her dad's private room. He seemed to be angry, but she wasn't sure because he always looked like that. Well, if you own a whole bunch of useful inventions that were patented and shipped all over the world, had to run a proper household, and raise three teenage girls without their mother at the same time; how could you smile?
"Buttercup, please sit down." The professor said in a very calm voice. She sat down and looked right at him, she wanted this to be over with quick.
"Buttercup, do you know why you are here?" The professor asked as she sat and thought about it.
"Yes, I do." She started off very calmly and then boldly jumped out of her chair and onto the table. "What do you think I was supposed to do dad? This guy was treating me like trash, so I had to teach him a lesson. So I quickly raised my leg and kicked him-"
"What?" He said in confusion as he raised an eyebrow. "That's not what I meant." He said glaring at her.
"Oh!" The black haired female blushed and went back to her seat. "But, we'll talk about incident later." The Professor hissed as she slouched in her seat to avoid his gaze.
"You are here to discuss with me on the topic of 'dating'." He pulled up his chair next to her. Buttercup soon sighed in annoyance. "For the last time, dad, I'm not the only 15 year old girl who doesn't want to be part of a relationship."
"Buttercup," The man's voice sounded angry, but she stood her ground despite the fact that she wanted curl up in a little ball and just roll away.
"I need to know that you'll be safe when I'm gone." He stopped for a moment to look at his schedule and back at his rebellious daughter. "That's why I've scheduled a date for you."
"What?" Buttercup yelled as she glared at her father. In reaction to it, she simply said:
"No, I'm not going. You're my dad and I hope you respect my wishes." She got up and headed for the door, but her dad soon stopped her. Loudly and angrily, he called for 20 servants.
"Make sure my child is ready for her date." Within a snap, the servants grabbed her and took her away.
"You can't do this!" She yelled, but her father painfully ignored her. Once he knew she was completely gone, Miss Keen walked in.
"You know that this is going to pulling you away from Buttercup more than ever, right?" She whispered in his ear.
"I know what's best." He muttered softly.
"What's best for her or what's best for you?" She asked.
After saying nothing, they just both stood their in silence.
"She's beautiful…I have to meet her." Romeo said as he looked towards his best friend.
"Good Luck!" The friend said. "I heard that it's not going to be easy, but it's your decision and you made it."
Romeo smiled at that, it wasn't going to be that hard was it? He wanted to meet this girl ignoring all of the warnings from his friends and family. In fact, how can a girl that looks so beautiful, be that bad?
He walked towards her and a gentlemanly bow. "Hello fair maiden, may ask for one dance?"
The girl smiled as she looked to see his character. "Why, yes you may." He grabbed her hand and took her to the dance floor. They were going to have the time of their lives, but who knew it was going to be the hardest thing they ever did.
"Double D, wake up!' The smart Ed boy felt his friend yelling in his ear. His first instinct was to cover his ears with his pillow, but instead he yelled at him.
"Eddy, do you even have the slightest integrity to respect an individual's slumber?"
Ignoring the comment, Eddy continued to talk. "Your mom wants you downstairs, so that she can talk to you again."
Double D sighed in annoyance. He was working hard all night trying to find out what would make his family better than the Utoniums, and he really needed some rest. Luckily, on that night, he found a rare substance near the forest; he had to tell his mother immediately.
Eddward quickly got up, and put on his normal clothes. "Thank you, Eddy; I'll be down soon."
"Whatever." Eddy said as he went off to roam his friend's house.
Edd looked at the window, it was a beautiful day, but he couldn't do anything as well. Since he was the only child his parents had, he had to learn to take charge of his parents' business, but how could he do that when his parents don't let him do what he wants to.
As a maid entered his room, he went downstairs. After passing at least five doors, he made it to his parent's office. He knocked on the door to see if it was okay to enter, but soon pressed his ear on the door in suspicion.
"Yes… That's perfect. Okay, bye." He heard his mother say. Who was she talking to anyway? Double D thought as he heard her say enter.
"Hello, mother," He greeted as he quickly scanned the room and sat down. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing's wrong my dear, but I have some good news." She had a smile on her face. To the sockhead, it was either bad or his dad was coming home back from a business trip.
"We'll be attending a party in about two weeks and I need you to represent our family."
"Okay, but do I really have to do?"
"I need you to be Ms. Marie Kanker's date during the whole formal affair." She narrowed her eyes to see her son's response. She knew it wasn't going to be good. His eyes grew wide in fear as his legs started to tremble. The woman swore that her son might even have a seizure but he snapped out of his trance.
"What?" Double D said as he looked hard at his mother. "Have you lost your marbles? That girl has been stalking and abusing me for years and YOU suggest that I should go on a date with her."
"First of all, I wasn't 'suggesting', I was commanding you to do so." She said with a cold, icy tone. "And yes, since her family is organizing the whole affair."
"Now, how could the Kankers afford to do that?" Edd muttered angrily. "You can't be serious…"
The mother nodded and looked at her computer. Honestly, she didn't have time for this.
"This isn't fair. " Double D said, avoiding eye contact with his mother; he rolled his eyes. What is he? A child?
"Life isn't fair deal with it." The woman didn't move her eyes from the screen.
The boy soon got out of his seat and went for the door. "Don't let the door hit you where I'm going to fix you." He heard his mother say as he went to the main living room.
He fell upon the chair, and started thinking about how to get out of this situation. Can I pretend to be sick? No, that won't work; mom will send a bunch of doctors in to see what's wrong with me. Could I just not go at all, but the last time I did that my mother made the FBI try to find me.
Edd laid down on his couch thinking long and hard until he got a phone call. He reached for his dark purple house phone and replied. "Hello, this is the Eddward; may I ask who is speaking?"
"Hello, Double D, I am Ed."
"Salutations Ed, may I ask you why you are calling this evening?" For that second, it seems that Edd almost forgot about his problems with his mother.
"Have you seen Eddy? He owns me butter toast." The slow Ed boy seemed to be eating food in the background.
"No, I have not seen him…" After saying those few words Double D got an idea. "I'll call you back Ed, bye." He quickly got off the couch, and headed for his mother's office. He opened the door without recognition (to his mother's surprise) with a big grin on her face.
"Eddward, how many times did I tell you-" Before she could finish her sentence, her son cut her off.
"Mother, I have a deal for you and it's quite a bargain." He said with his smile still plastered on his face. His mother raised her eyebrow, curious on what his deal might be. "Oh, really?" She asked tapping her finger on her desk intolerantly.
"I'll only go if my friends, Eddy & Ed, can accompany me." He made sure that he made it very clear, so she couldn't mess things up for him.
"Unacceptable!" The woman yelled at the top of her lungs. "Your friends will distract you from your duties as an escort!"
"No, they will not! I promise that they will guide me." Double D said. He never backed down on his word.
"Very well, then. They may come." His mother seemed to have gave up. For the first time in his house for years, he was truly happy.
"Thank you!" He came to his mother and hugged her; she smiled. It's been so long since I got one. She thought. After he happily left the room, she calmly went to her desk. Once she was on her desk, she pushed a button on her desk. She spoke into the microphone to her assistant.
"Sally, can you fetch Mr. Eddy and Mr. Ed?"
"Yes ma'am, but may I ask what for?"
"We need to talk." The older woman replied as she let go of the button. She had a plan on her sleeve and she knew that her son wasn't going to like it.
